Pritzker Forum on Global Cities: Pursuing Equity

As the COVID-19 pandemic sheds light on urban inequalities, what does equitable urban life look like? What kinds of strategies, programs, and movements create more equitable cities?

In the past, participants have discussed inclusive urban economic frameworks, creating better cities for all, and confronting systemic racism and inequity. The forum will continue to explore the relationship between inequality and urban space, equity in crisis response, and global approaches to pursuing equity.

The Prtizker Forum on Global Cities is cohosted by the Financial Times and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.
